Miss Ghana pageant in 1991. She cannot be described as one who is actively involved in politics.

The Presidential candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom has chosen a former Miss Ghana, Brigitte Dzogbenuku as running mate.

Dr Nduom earlier hinted that his running mate will be female. He believed his choice will give meaning to an “all inclusive” and “Ghana first agenda”.

Dzogbenuku was presented to the party delegates on Thursday at the party headquarters in Accra.

Dzogbenuku won the Miss Ghana pageant in 1991. Even though she is a member of pressure group Occupy Ghana, she cannot be described as one who is actively involved in politics.

Brigitte Dzogbenuku is the manager of the Barclays Clubhouse in Accra. She also runs a non-profit organisation Mentoring Women Ghana (MWG).

This is the second time in a row Dr Nduom is choosing a female running mate for general elections. In 2012 he chose a former GBC Director General Eva Lokko for a running mate.

Prior to this she served as the General Manager of Aviation Social Centre, a fitness and recreational centre in Accra, for twelve years and revolutionalised the fitness and training regime for Ghanaians.
